Welcome to Stone Vintage Radio, a virtual museum and research site for antique radios, wireless, crystal set radios, tube amplifiers, tubes, and valves. Stone Vintage Radio museum depicts the history of early radio from Marconi to the 1950s. It is a place to learn more about the history of antique radios and research information on specific antique radios, tubes, or valves. Included in the virtual museum are hundreds of pictures, images, history, and descriptions of antique radios. Also included are ARTICLES ON ANTIQUE RADIOS I HAVE WRITTEN, FAQ, and antique radios and tubes for sale. If this is your first visit, please take a minute to read the overview below and the ABOUT ME AND THE COLLECTION section listed in the menu on the left. If you've been here before, I am glad you are back. The museum galleries are divided into several major areas. You can click any gallery name listed all in caps on this front page and go directly to the gallery:

MARCONI WIRELESS (PRE-1920 RADIOS).
Marconi sets pictured are the English and American Magnetic Detectors,
Multiple tuner, Crystal 16, 103, 106B, Coherer, Spark coil, Trenches
set, and others. Also pictured is the United Wireless Type E Tuner. Read
the interesting history of the Marconi 16 that was at the bottom of the ocean for
about 80 years before it was raised and conserved.

Each gallery of the museum has a number of radios
illustrated-more than are listed here. Click on the image of any
antique radio or tube and you will see a larger image and a
description of the set. With only two clicks of the mouse, you
can reach any radio exhibit of interest in the entire site. You
also can use the search engine to find every antique radio or tube in
the website.

I am always looking for other radios, wireless and
spark sets, radio tubes, and tube amplifiers like those pictured
here for the museum. If you have something you want to go to a good home, or if you
just want some information on an old radio, please get in touch with
me (click the INFO OR SELL YOUR RADIO here or the button at the top
of the page). I will do my best to help or suggest where you can go
for help. Do read the FAQ section first because I may have an answer
to your question already there including how to estimate the value
of your radio. I travel quite a bit and can't read email every day,
so please be patient-I will respond to your request and try to help
as soon as I am able.

There is a lot to do here, so click away and enjoy!
I think you will learn a lot and find the history of early radio
very fascinating.
